Wellness and Recovery Centre

We are a member-driven community program supporting people, age 16 and over, living with a mental illness, mental health challenge and/or addiction. We support wellness, recovery and quality of life through social recreation and educational opportunities, peer support and advocacy.

Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life and strive to reach their full potential. The Centre uses a recovery model of service in designing and delivering programs and activities.

The Centre is structured with peer support at its core and foundation. Mental Health Peer Support is a relationship where an individual who has undergone, or is moving forward in their personal journey of recovery from, a mental illness assists other people with mental health issues to identify and achieve life goals as part of their own recovery process. It is about the sharing of life’s experiences, listening with understanding, and making connections based on common or shared life experiences and living with an illness.

Experiences of mental illness can provide opportunities for change, reflection and discovery of new values, skills and interests.

The Centre provides individuals with a safe, friendly place where they can socialize, connect, receive and give support with others through shared personal lived experiences.
